WASHINGTON -- A Justice Department official says the Boston Marathon bombing suspect will not be read his Miranda rights because the government is invoking a public safety exception.

That official and a second person briefed on the investigation says 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be questioned by a special interrogation team for high-value suspects. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to disclose the information publicly.

The public safety exception permits law enforcement officials to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation of a suspect and allows the government to introduce the statement as evidence in court. The public safety exception is triggered when police officers have an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from immediate danger.

I just checked Facebook again. Curiously, none of my staunch constitutionalist friends who've made countless posts about the 2nd amendment have uttered a peep about this one. Obama...tough on terror.

I think this is the first time this has been invoked? As long at it is used only in extraordinary circumstances (as it is in this case) I'm ok with it.

That's exactly what I've been thinking. Funny how all of that militarized local and state law enforcement, running around in their kevlar and cammo, were trumped by the internet sleuths on Reddit and 4chan, and it took a civilian to actually find the guy who was hiding out in his back yard.

True "staunch Constitutionalists" are opposed to Miranda vs. Arizona. It was a major stretch to begin with.
